If you’re ready to embrace the nomadic life of long-term travel but also know that you enjoy your creature comforts, you might be concerned about how you can live comfortably while away from home or when your home is on the road for an extended period of time.
The good news is you can satisfy your wanderlust and live comfortably at the same time even on a long journey. We listed below the six simple things to help you achieve that:
-
Home is wherever you hang your hat
Forget what you know about living quarters. Your home-away-from-home can be as cozy as an apartment, as quaint as a guesthouse, or as unconventional as one of these manufactured homes for rent. These days, you can find cheap accommodation that are not cramped hostels and if you want to travel in style and comfort, doing so is a smart move.
Even if you only book a “fancier” place to stay one week out of every month, it will make all the difference to your comfort levels and give you a break from cheap and cheerful travel.
-
Be a packing ninja
Packing for a long trip is an art, and you, my friend, need to be Picasso. Pick clothes that you can mix-and-match more than a hip DJ at a rooftop party. Travel-sized toiletries are your secret weapon against clutter. Don’t forget your sleeping gear; a travel pillow, a sleep mask, and earplugs are your trifecta for a serene snooze anywhere, anytime.
-
Become a culinary adventurer
Unleash your taste buds by diving into local cuisine and you will find it much more rewarding, not to mention healthier and easier on your gut, than if you insist on eating pre-paged junk food, fast food, and dishes you are used to from back home., Local cuisine is likely to be fresher, tastier, and cheaper, not to mention a great way to explore the local culture too. Good food = greater comfort.
-
Heath is your superpower
While living the nomad dream, don’t forget your secret weapon: your health. Channel your inner fitness guru by jogging through picturesque parks or nailing a sun salutation at sunrise. Pack some healthy snacks and stay hydrated, because you’re not just travelling, you’re conquering!
-
Connect, connect, connect
Even a lone wolf needs a pack sometimes! Connect with fellow nomads, join local events or online communities, and start to mingle. You never know where you might find your next travel buddy, soulmate, or the best hidden gem recommendation! Then, you won’t have to worry so much about getting lonely or isolated.
-
Master your money
Keep your finances on a tight leash. Know where your pennies go, prioritize your moolah, and always have a ‘rainy day’ stash. Discounts and deals are your best friends, and a good travel insurance policy is the trustworthy guardian angel you never knew you needed! The more money you have to live on, the more options to make yourself comfy there are.
Wishing you an incredible journey filled with comfort and unforgettable experiences!
